Obir Dripstone Caves, Natural cave system in Bad Eisenkappel, Austria.

The Obir Dripstone Caves extend for 800 meters underground, featuring intricate formations of stalactites and stalagmites across nine distinct multimedia stations.

Miners searching for lead and zinc deposits in 1870 discovered these caves, which contain geological formations dating back 200 million years.

The cave system incorporates multimedia presentations at different stations to educate visitors about geological processes and natural cave development.

Access to the caves requires taking a dedicated cave bus from Bad Eisenkappel's main square to the mountain facility, where guided tours depart regularly.

The caves maintain a constant temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and house the Berg-Blindläufer beetle, which exists exclusively within the Hochobir cave system.
